I feel for Bruce in this instance but I can't help but feel that he has perpetuated this stereotype with his grandiose and histrionic commentary style over the years. Perhaps he should tone down this aspect of his commentary (that is unnecessary and adds nothing to the viewer's watching experience) and spend more time focusing on the actual game at hand - although that would be expecting far too much to ask from a Ch.7 employee.
Perhaps Bruce understands today that his employer specialises in making their employees look like fools. Anybody that walks through the doors of Ch.7 will be walking out the other side with their reputation in tatters.
The only way that cartoon offends anyone is if was done by Charlie Hebdo and if 'Bruce' is English for 'The Prophet Muhammad'. Outside of that, I'm not really sure sexual reference is even made. It's classic 'Family Guy' joke writing in that they're not implying anything sexual in any sense whatsoever, in and of itself. Not all, but some readers/viewers may, but that's an individual imputing made by an individual with a perception of 'Bruce'.
Family Guy: Meg & Quagmire are on the couch cuddling. Meg says 'sorry I farted'. Quagmire says 'that's ok, that's just your body making room so you can put something in its place'. This is a bland non sexual and non offensive statement. How individuals read other things not actually said into the image is a matter for the individual. A journo that implies sexual suggestion is showing their own mind and perception rather than dealing with a non description picture...

If Bruce sneaks a peak why is he gay? Elaine in Seinfeld checked out the body in a sauna of Jerry's girl friend played by Terri Hatcher. Is the character Elaine now homosexual?

Wasn't implying that at all.

Imply it? Jesus. I'll come right out and say it: I feel for a Mrs. McAvaney, if there is one. She'd be sitting there with her mates listening to Bruce on the radio and fending off awkward glances.
I could see Bruce doing this not because he is gay but looking for more stats on him for the useless commentary info. eg how many litres per toilet visit , his length and girth, which hand he used to unzip, which one he holds it with etc etc
